Does Your "Lifestyle" Predict Your Political Beliefs?

The test is here:

Political Left / Right Test

From the description:

"Scientists like John R. Hibbing, Ph.D., Kevin B. Smith, Ph.D., and John R. Alford, Ph.D., argue that differences between the political left and right are not just a cultural phenomenon, but that they are rooted in genetics as well.

Scientific research has shown that the same genes that predispose you to certain political options also predispose you to lead a certain lifestyle. Thus it should be possible to deduce your political orientation from your lifestyle."

My result:

Admittedly, this is basically where I was politically several years ago, and my lifestyle probably still matches. In terms of my personality and values, elements of conservatism are appealing to me. But in terms of policy I've moved considerably to the left as I've aged.

How about you? Does the test predict your beliefs any better?

I got left 70%, and right 30%, fairly accurate, I'm mostly left leaning, but I agree with a few right leaning policies.

The problem with such a test is that I'd wind up near the
middle, despite having extreme positions on both sides.
I don't want my extremism looking like fence sitting....or
worse yet, moderation. I pick solidly libertarian.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
75% left wing

25% right wing


Those were the results.

All I can say is this test is about as accurate as the belief o matic. *Grin*
